As Florida's most dedicated dance team for women over 60, the Calendar Girls are in high demand. They are magical reindeer at church fetes, fluffy unicorns at Air Force reunions, and zombies at retirement homes.

They are also ‘women of a certain age’ free to make their own rules, redefine themselves and forge friendships the like of which they haven’t known since high school.

Discovering them on their own terms, Calendar Girls is a coming-of-golden-age film about women in the second teenage phase – the retirement age. Through intimate portraits and stylised dance sequences this joyful film captures the challenges of being a woman over 60. Friendship, tears, humour, aging, relationships and identities take on new shapes and new dreams are realised.
